Chimpanzees on Ngamba Island

A 3 day safari that starts and finishes in Entebbe. This safari can also be done on a private basis. It can also be done as an extension to Classic Rwanda and Uganda.

Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary on Lake Victoria is located on a beautiful forested island and is home to approximately 40 chimpanzees rescued from poachers. The semi-wild environment allows for close viewing of the animals in their natural habitat. Optional extra: a day’s forest walk with the mischievous chimps as they play in the forest (full or half day on payment of supplement at time of booking). Clients are responsible for having a number of vaccinations and tests done in advance before they can be allowed to participate in the forest walk. Please ask for detailed information.

On safari clients stay 2 nights at Ngamba Island Camp.
